Hi Members,

Thanks all for the support so far. The reason for that slow d/l in torrent was (as pointed by one of esteem members) the presence of only one seed. I was able to D/l another movie of 648 MB in less than 2 Hrs.

But but but.... the problem of Port fwding still exists....

Essential Details:

*Beetel 220BX ADSL
*Netgear Wireless WGR614 v7 Router
* Torrent Client - Utorrent

I have already posted the screen shots of my setup in my previous post.

But one checking the port from UTorrent I get this error

Checking port 20667 on 122.162.51.32...
Error! Port 20667 does not appear to be open.

122.162.51.32 is the IP that has been assigned by Airtel.

Plz help me out with this Port Fwding...

An exactly similar type of problem was faced by the guy in below forum
vinuthomas.com >> Discussion Forum >> DSL Broadband Providers >> Airtel (Touchtel) Broad Band >> :?: Portforwarding on Netgear WGR614 Router with Beetel220

This might give u some clear idea of problem I am having.

The window firewall is turned off and I dont have any other firewall installed on my Lappy
 
Do this step by step:

(Just to let you know 192. or 172. are both same and make no difference. I am giving the example in 192. because I am more accustomed to use these IPs.)

Make your IPs in order first. Go to your Beetel Page's advanced page (main.html). Go to Advanced Setup >> LAN and Set IP address to 192.168.1.1. Check Enable UPnP. Select Enable DHCP Server and set Starting IP to 192.168.1.2 and Ending to 192.168.1.254.

Go to your Netgear Page. Go to Lan IP Setup. Set IP address to 192.168.1.2. Check Use Router as DHCP Server and set Starting IP to 192.168.1.3 and Ending to 192.168.1.254. Go To UPnP and check Turn UPnP On.

Make your computer's IP 192.168.1.3 and default Gateway to 192.168.1.1. Make similar changes to your laptops if you want to use UTorrent on them also. If you don't, better leave them to Obtain an IP address automatically.

Now in your Beetel Page's advanced page (main.html) go to Advanced Setup >> NAT. Add Custom Server with name UTorrent, Server IP Address to 192.168.1.3, External Port Start, End and Internal Port all to 20667, Protocol to TCP/UDP. Save.

In Advanced Setup >> NAT >> Port Triggering, add Custom application UTorrent with all four port values to 20667 and protocol values to TCP/UDP. Save.

Management >> Save/Reboot >> Save/Reboot

You don't need to do the same for NetGear as NetGear's support of UPnP is far better. Start UTorrent. Go to Preferences >> Connection and check Enable UPnP port mapping.

You are done.
 
Thanks a lot for the reply but I have some doubts.
First is that the setup U r telling me is when we set the Beetel Modem in the PPPoE mode or by setting it in Bridge mode?
I did the following setup in the Bridge mode.

Do this step by step:
(Just to let you know 192. or 172. are both same and make no difference. I am giving the example in 192. because I am more accustomed to use these IPs.)

Agreed. My reason for going to 172 notation was to keep the Beetel Modem and Netgear Router in different IP networks so that I can access both of them.(I was experimenting and ofcourse my thinking was wrong).

Where in the Enable UPnP in Beetel Page??? If possible please provide a screen shot as I was not able to locate the same

This is fine.

First, I didnt understand the logic of making both the modem and the router as the DHCP servers.
Anyways, here you are asking me to put the default gateway was 192.168.1.1 which is the IP of beetel modem. I am not able to ping it and hence after putting it as the default gateway, I am unable to access the internet.
Can you figure out where is the catch?
 
Instead of messing up on all these. Why dont you try using the net gear as a router itself and make the modem in bridge mode. After this do a port forwarding/triggering on Netgear box and check if you issue of port opening is fixed.

Tried that too....but result.....NEGATVE :wall:
 
ok just to try and figure out where the actual problem lies. try connecting your beetel modem directly to your pc and then use that online port scanner link i posted earlier.. and check if it says that the port is successfully open or not..
 
Using Bridge mode is only good if you are using a limited bandwidth connection. For this setup, the mode can be both Bridge or PPPoE but I do recommend PPPoE.

Enable UPnP is at : Advanced Setup >> LAN

The logic is IP-streamlining. :P

You will be able to access both Netgear and Beetel page if you make the Gateway to Beetel page. If you cannot, you need to look at my previous post again. You might have missed something.

You also don't need to add port numbers to Windows Firewall for UTorrent, but you do need to add the executable.
 
Hi Calamity , me too need ur help, first let me furnish the required details:

My LAN ip is : 192.168.1.20
Airtel router 220BX : 192.168.2.1
Netgear router : 192.168.1.1

I am trying to set up IIS to run a small site , well i have configured everything correctly in IIS , and iam able to browse Locally i mean with the lan for an eg: iam able to access my site by going http://192.168.1.20:8080 but iam not able to bring it out externall , not able to access the site in the internet , mine is not static ip !

Now my only problem is port forwarding , previously i was only using netgear router with tata indicom router , so i was able to run IIS sucessfully just by forwarding the port in NETGEAR

Now iam not able to access my site through my ip i.e. http://56.23.XX.XX:8080

As i have read this thread fully , i clearly understand that the problem might be in the Firewall , so i disabled it with the help of screenshots provided in the thread

When i was asked to portforward , it asks for server ip address : what ip addresse should i give there , here is the screenshot , to show how much i have messed:



So now please help me to run my site externally!:(
